How Michael Bloomberg sold out the people of New York to become the
poster boy for the 1%. Mike Wall Street's Mayor is the story of how
the most dominant political figure in New York's modern history
leveraged his vast wealth and political power to govern in the
interest of the 1%. Politicians sold him their ballot lines, and
religious and civic leaders were paid to sing his praises and push
his policies. He said it would be 'disgraceful' to overturn a
voter's referendum upholding terms limits--and then he overturned
them. The hamburger-eating, subway-riding, self-proclaimed
'people's mayor' (Call me Mike ) accepted a salary of only one
dollar a year--and yet grew his personal fortune while in office
from an estimated three to twenty billion dollars. His foundation
holds hundreds of millions of dollars of taxable unrelated business
income in tax-free off-shore accounts. This mayor's 'Luxury City'
vision failed education policies, abusive police practices, and
much else revealed in this book are the legacy of a corrupt
administration--a betrayal of all but the richest New Yorkers, who
continue to celebrate his leadership. Told from the perspective of
a political insider, Mike recounts in a compelling narrative the
rise and reign of the Wall Street billionaire who became Wall
Street's Mayor.
